Enhance Your Smile With a Botox® Lip Flip
Want the appearance of fuller lips without adding dermal filler? A Botox® Lip Flip in Canton, MA at Dream Spa Medical offers a subtle, non-surgical way to enhance the appearance of your upper lip.
A Botox Lip Flip uses small amounts of Botox to relax the muscle just above the upper lip. This allows the upper lip to gently roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without significantly adding volume. It’s a popular option for patients who want a subtle enhancement with minimal treatment time.

How the Botox® Lip Flip Works
Your Botox Lip Flip treatment in Canton begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your lips and surrounding facial muscles, and determine whether a Lip Flip is an appropriate option for you.
During treatment, your experienced Dream Spa Medical provider uses precise Botox injections in the muscle above the upper lip. As the targeted muscle relaxes, the upper lip can gently “flip” outward, enhancing its visible surface and creating a fuller, more defined appearance.
Because a Lip Flip uses Botox rather than dermal filler, it does not add significant volume to the lips. Instead, it subtly changes the position of the upper lip to enhance your natural smile.

A Botox Lip Flip in Canton is well-suited for individuals who desire to enhance the appearance of their upper lip. It is particularly beneficial for those who wish to reduce a “gummy” smile and improve their profile. If you are considering lip filler but are not yet ready to proceed, a lip flip may be a suitable alternative.
Lip fillers involve the injection of fillers directly into the lips themselves. At Dream Spa Medical, our skilled injectors utilize hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm or Restylane products, which typically provide results lasting between 6 and 12 months.
In contrast, our lip flip procedure entails the injection of Botox into the muscle above the upper lip. This causes the upper lip to relax and subtly “flip” out, revealing more pink color while enhancing the peaks of the vermillion border.
Although the lip appears slightly larger as a result, this change is more subtle and does not add volume like lip fillers do. The full effects of a lip flip become noticeable after 2 weeks and generally last for approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
This exceptional lip enhancement procedure requires less time compared to a regular Botox treatment. When you visit us for a Botox Lip Flip in Canton, our expert injector will strategically administer your injections, taking approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for a Botox Lip Flip in Canton
Botox is a wrinkle relaxer, also known as neuromodulators or neurotoxins.
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- We suggest that if you are actively trying to conceive, you consult your physician before being treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- Please allow 2 weeks before and after any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area may feel sensitive or tender to the touch. This should resolve within 24 hours.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best to not touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before any additional treatments such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
- Wrinkle relaxers may take up to a full 2 weeks to see your final results. For this reason we strongly recommend waiting this time before any further or additional treatment for your Botox Lip Flip.
- Try to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for 1 to 2 nights.
All neuromodulators take time to activate and settle into your muscle. The time it takes varies for everyone. You can expect to see your product “kicking in” anywhere between 2 to 14 days.
Although our skilled providers take many precautions in an attempt to prevent bruising, it is a possibility and is an expected and normal side effect of the injection process. We suggest using Arnica gel (may be found in any drugstore) after your treatment to help minimize any bruising.
